Gameplay

First-person shooters

The Transport Hornet is identical in most aspects to the original AV-14 - its primary difference is the lack of the missile launchers found on the base Hornet variant. The Transport Hornet has a white paint scheme, contrasting with the olive traditionally associated with UNSC aircraft.

Like the original Hornet, it has a unique reticle, but no other major HUD elements change. It also can be Skyjacked.

Multiplayer

The Transport Hornet was introduced into Halo 3 with the release of the Legendary Map Pack map Avalanche. The Hornet in this map was adjusted for balance reasons to make it viable for multiplayer play.

Forge

It was later included on the map Sandbox alongside the regular AV-14 to spawn in Forge mode.
